+
+							*unix* *Unix*
+This file contains the particularities for the Unix version of Vim.
+
+For compiling Vim on Unix see "INSTALL" and "Makefile" in the src directory.
+
+The default help file name is "/usr/local/lib/vim/help.txt"
+The files "$HOME/.vimrc" and "$HOME/.exrc" are used instead of "s:.vimrc" and
+"s:.exrc". Additionally "/usr/local/etc/vimrc" is used first.
+If "/usr/local/share" exists it is used instead of "/usr/local/lib".
+
+Temporary files (for filtering) are put in "/tmp".  If you want to place them
+somewhere else, set the environment variable $TMPDIR to the directory you
+prefer.
+
+With wildcard expansion you can use '~' (home directory) and '$'
+(environment variable).
+
+							*fork* *spoon*
+For executing external commands fork()/exec() is used when possible, otherwise
+system() is used, which is a bit slower.  The output of ":version" includes
+|+fork| when fork()/exec() is used, |+system()| when system() is used.  This
+can be changed at compile time.
+(For forking of the GUI version see |gui-fork|).
+
+Because terminal updating under Unix is often slow (e.g. serial line
+terminal, shell window in suntools), the 'showcmd' and 'ruler' options
+are default off. If you have a fast terminal, try setting them on.  You might
+also want to set 'ttyfast'.
+
+When using Vim in an xterm the mouse clicks can be used by Vim by setting
+'mouse' to "a". If there is access to an X-server gui style copy/paste will
+be used and visual feedback will be provided while dragging with the mouse.
+If you then still want the xterm copy/paste with the mouse, press the shift
+key when using the mouse.  See |mouse-using|.  Visual feedback while dragging
+can also be achieved via the 'ttymouse' option if your xterm is new enough.
+
+							*terminal-colors*
+To use colors in Vim you can use the following example (if your terminal
+supports colors, but "T_Co" is empty or zero): >
+   :set t_me=^[[0;1;36m     " normal mode (undoes t_mr and t_md)
+   :set t_mr=^[[0;1;33;44m  " reverse (invert) mode
+   :set t_md=^[[1;33;41m    " bold mode
+   :set t_se=^[[1;36;40m    " standout end
+   :set t_so=^[[1;32;45m    " standout mode
+   :set t_ue=^[[0;1;36m     " underline end
+   :set t_us=^[[1;32m       " underline mode start
+[the ^[ is an <Esc>, type CTRL-V <Esc> to enter it]
+
+For real color terminals the ":highlight" command can be used.
+
+The file "tools/Vim132" is a shell script that can be used to put Vim in 132
+column mode on a vt100 and lookalikes.
